We could look into adding this.  Would this be a 2.4 feature?  Is it ok to be a one-off where you configure a config file, or is this a common use case that needs to be in the loader ui?  Can someone please add a jira or let me know and I will.

Nudging this (or should I create a Jira ticket?):

We are interested in using the loader failsafe on a per-group basis.

Before I consider rolling my own, has anyone else (as hinted in the archives) done anything in this direction ?

Best,
jrp

Hello Grouper users,

 

I'm new to Grouper, having recently joined the IAM team at Oregon State, and I'm using a recent loader issue to orient myself to the project:

 

Without warning, an SQL view was altered (incorrectly) such that the loader got zero results back from its query, and it (correctly) began unloading the grouper group membership.

 

I am aware of Fail-safe-1 and Fail-safe-2*; these are mostly what I think we need, but they both seem to work globally (applied to all loader jobs), whereas we would like to configure failsafe params per-job in order to accommodate the loading of groups with naturally volatile membership.

 

While I've found related threads in the archives of this list** and the grouper-dev list*** , the only mention I could find of this particular use-case, 'per-group failsafe', is in meeting notes from May 6, 2015:

 

Add decoration to loader group to make failsafe a per-group setting. Best to do as grouper attribute rather than loader config element. Or maybe config UI magic that can accomplish the same. Chris is communicating with Carl W @ Layfayette about what’s needed exactly.****

 

Since I've not been able to find any follow-up to this in the list or in the wiki, I'm here to ask:

 

has this been done ?

and if not, does anyone have a thought as to how this could be done?

 

 

Thanks,

Jason Peak
